SDG 8 - Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all

COVID-19 has been a major disruption to GDP growth.

Cumulative losses in GDP

Next calculate the cumulative loss in GDP per capita from 2020-22 compared to 2019. In this analysis, we will create the difference in GDP per capita between 2020 and 2019, 2021 and 2019, and 2022 and 2019. Then the cumulative loss in GDP per capita will be calculated as the sum of the gap in 2020, 2021, and 2022. This will then be expressed as a percentage of GDP per capita in 2019. This measure is meant to capture the fact that the losses due to COVID stretched across multiple years.

Country Losses

Would be interesting to allow the user to view GDP losses for specific countries. User could select a country and line graph of GDP & projections based on January 2022 GEP compare to what was expected during the January 2020 GEP before COVID. The red line on the graph are the projected GDP levels of countries based on January 2020 GEP. Solid lines are the updated projections reflecting COVID using the January 2022 WEO.
